Is there any interest in a Mini - Disney Do?
I love Disney and can't seem to convince anyone in my family to go with me. I would love to go to Orlando for 4 or 5 days and visit the some of the parks and check out some of the restaurants. I am not looking to do theme park ride for 18 hours day but a more relaxed adult attitude towards the trip. Anybody interested?

I have been hooked ever since and have just been dying to go visit the mouse once again.I think I am just going to have to bite the bullet and pick a date and just go. I may have to find an underprivileged child to take to Disney just so I can experience the magic of Disney through their eyes if no one wants to go!

That and when my ladyfriend states her first trip there was when she was in diapers, while I was there at the same time in a hard hat!
Let's see...I was there for the Grand Openings of The Magic Kingdom (1971), Epcot Center (1982...now just called Epcot), The Grand Floridian Beach Resort (1988), Disney-MGM Studios (1989), Typhoon Lagoon (1989), Disney's Animal Kingdom, hotels, hotels...blah, blah, blah, and blah. Somebody hand me a cane, Preparation H, and some Polygrip, thankyouverymuch.
I'm usually there quite often still, so it would be a bit of a "busman's holiday" for me. But if whatever dates you select are do-able, I'd be glad to join you. I could tell you a few stories about the place and the people that built it.
A couple might even be true!

The first time I was at DisneyWorld was in 1973 with my aunt. The trip highlights:
*My aunt thinking "Space Mountain" was an exhibition on space travel. I didn't want to go there. After the ride and my aunt aging 30 years I wanted to do it again!!!
*Eastern Airlines "If You Have Wings" ride. I loved it so much I went on it 39 times. My aunt said I would end up addicted to flying.
My aunt was a wise woman.
I did not go again for over two decades. Had no interest. Then went with two very good friends and rediscovered the magic of the place.
I've been back about three times since.
As my Big Bruddar says... if the dates are "do" able... I would like to come out as well.

Oh yes!! You are so right. Are you saying it is not there anymore?? The last time I was there which was in 95 it was still there, but there was a different song (which did not give it the same feel)

Name a date for the "do" and I'll try to get there. We're good for one trip to MCO per year on average and haven't planned one this year yet.
